Migrant laborers' protest in Belarus: Construction workers from China marching in column to Homiel


Wages are not paid out to them, the workers say. They are about to go by train to Minsk and meet with China’s Ambassador to Belarus.

Hundreds of Chinese builders working on the construction of a new cardboard factory went on strike. A column of migrant workers has left the town of Dobrush and is moving to the city of Homiel, one of the Belarusian regional centres. They are being accompanied by riot police and troops of the Ministry for Emergencies. The local authorities have taken a decision to close the highway M-13.

None of the employees speaks Russian or Belarusian. The participants are protesting against detention of wages and non-full payouts.
